Deep Fried Gadgets
New Zealand/Brooklyn photographer Henry Hargreaves heard of an experiment in which electronics were cooked and eaten. It didn't turn out quite as expected. He pondered ways to do the same thing, only better.
But don't try to deep-fry your own electronics! Hargreaves avoided the potential danger of cooking unknown materials by recreating the gadgets with foam core overlaid with photographs of the original items. Food stylist Caitlin Levin made the tempura batter and did the frying. The result is thought-provoking, all right, but also truly fun!

I love to work with food in photography, to me there is so much potential in the genre for storytelling by mashing up opposite components and forcing the viewer to look at things differently. With this series I guess there is a comment about consumption and the similarities with the way we are obsessed with the 'new' gadget. We get it, are obsessed by it and then discard it. Just like fast food! But at the end of the day, I hope people just get a kick out of seeing some fun pictures!

I refuse to believe that a spherical object in motion will naturally assume a spiral path - that's nonsense.
This reminds me of the silly things people were saying about Baseball's curve ball 150 years ago. Most first year physics texts have a detailed explanation.

@Jim M, pool and related games do use the same general principle, but the cause is friction against the table, not against air. Your example is not wrong, but it's counter-intuitive.
As for the final result, it was 1-1, so the Frecnh didn't loose... or flee, or go on strike...
Can't deny it is extremely hard to give it that kind of spin, and that shot is noteworthy anyway, but shame on the people talking about physical impossibility or trying to explain what is already obvious. It gives science a bad name, as science doesn't cover these silly topics.
You're right, thank you. I stand corrected. AND educated.
